They Camped at Bluff Creek. Something Wanted Them Gone.

They Camped at Bluff Creek. Something Wanted Them Gone.

Author: Jeremiah Byron September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:11:47
“We’re gonna have to stay up all night and sleep in the day ’cause I can’t do this again.”


Tobe Johnson and Alicia Phifer set up camp near the Patterson–Gimlin trailhead at Bluff Creek, California. During their stay, they heard unexplained metallic snapping outside their tent and experienced unsettling nights that left Tobe questioning whether he could stay.


The researchers behind Olympic Strange Days join Jeremiah Byron to recount that three-day campout—and the questions they carried home. What were they hearing beyond the tent? What happened when they turned their thermal camera toward the road?


The conversation continues on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, where an outdoor recorder captured unusual vocalizations and something the couple describes as rapid running near their cabin. Hear the recordings, their firsthand recollections, and the details they’re still trying to understand.

In Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron creates a space where firsthand accounts of the unexplained are treated with seriousness and respect. This isn't about sensationalism; it's a grounded conversation at the intersection of personal narrative and natural mystery. Each episode features intimate interviews where people recount their encounters with something they believe to be Bigfoot. Jeremiah’s approach is to empower these witnesses, allowing them to articulate experiences that are often met with skepticism. The result is a sense of relief and regained control for the storyteller, offering listeners a rare, unfiltered window into these events. By focusing on the human element within these extraordinary stories, the podcast explores deeper questions about what might still be undiscovered in the wilderness. You'll hear detailed descriptions of sounds, sightings, and the lasting emotional impact, all framed within a thoughtful dialogue. Jeremiah guides these conversations with a calm curiosity, making this podcast a unique entry in the genre. It’s for anyone fascinated by the persistent mystery of Sasquatch, but also for those interested in how people process and make sense of the profoundly unexpected. Tune in for a series that is as much about the psychology of belief and experience as it is about the creature itself.
